"Get off me." I struggle to no avail, trying to get control of my arms, which he easily keeps pinned. "You son of a-" I'm cut off by his hand over my mouth, leaving his other hand to grip both my wrists above my head. "Do you really want to finish that sentence?" He's starting to get irritated, but I'm too angry to care. I nod my head and yell obscenities that are muffled by his hand. I try to bite his hand, but it's pressed so tightly on my mouth that my teeth can't get a grip on anything. I just want to get out of this extremely vulnerable position. He's barely even putting force into his actions, and yet he is so much stronger than me. It's a terrifying thought to realise that you would be helpless if a man wanted to harm you, subjected to his whims just because of biological differences. "Seriously, Mollie, stop being so childish." He removes his hand and wipes it on my shirt. I don't miss how his hand stays on my waist. "Get off me then," I hide my fear behind my anger and hope he doesn't see through it. I think he does, because he teases me with a smile, "What will you do if I don't? You can't exactly do much in this position." His words sink an arrow of terror into my gut. *** Mollie's bus is hijacked by a group of masked men one day when she's on her way home from university. The hostages are taken to a house in the woods where they're ransomed back to their families. All except Mollie. The leader of the masked men has an interest in her, one that seems to have existed before the hijacking, and doesn't want to let her go. It seems that she's been kidnapped for keeps.

The first rule of Janggi was simple- protect the king at all costs. Namjoon had lived by that rule since he was fifteen, since the night his father's body turned cold. Every move he made, every piece he sacrificed, was to ensure one thing- his family's survival. And now, Kim Seokjin was just another piece on his board. The wedding wasn't a celebration. There were no flowers, no soft whispers of love. Just an exchange of rings under the dim glow of a chandelier, watched by men who carried guns instead of blessings. Jin's face was unreadable, but Namjoon saw the defiance in his eyes. A king without a kingdom, a man forced into a game he never wanted to play. But Namjoon wasn't looking for a willing groom. He was looking for revenge. He leaned in close, his voice a quiet threat. "You owe me a big time, Seokjin" Jin didn't flinch. He met Namjoon's gaze and whispered, "You're playing the wrong game, Namjoon. I'm not a piece-you just handed me the power to destroy you." For the first time in years, Namjoon almost smiled.

"I don't know. Please let me go,...please..." She pleaded with her eyes half open while her lip shivered giving into the freezing night of Alaska.

A sick feeling settles in my heart. "I forbid you from going anywhere else. It's safe here, with us," Alexander answers. He is practically fuming. "Clearly, it's not!" I stand from the leather chair, backing away to the mahogany door. Pure, hot rage bubbles inside of me. Never. I will never become one of them. He begins to rush to me, but I turn on my heel and sprint out, down the hallway, through the house, and to the brick fence surrounding the mansion. I go up to the black metal gate, slip through the rails, and run out onto the forest-surrounded street. *** Evelyn Rhodes was kidnapped at the age of seven by her uncle after seeing her brothers kill a woman.
